Lasmid feat. King Promise – No Issues
Lasmid channels a purely joyful mood, and the result is the smooth, infectious track, No Issues. This song is a genuine celebration, a perfect musical moment where all the essential ingredients for an unforgettable good time are present and accounted for. It’s an anthem built around the philosophy of keeping your energy at a 100 and deliberately refusing to worry about anything that could bring you down. The already feel-good atmosphere is significantly heightened by a stellar feature from King Promise, who slides in with the track’s most essential and resonant line: “Bad energy make you free me…” Together, they deliver a confident, carefree bop that demands you leave your troubles at the door and simply enjoy the moment.
